Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan in Kathmandu (with photos)

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan came to Kathmandu on Monday amidst huge fanfare. The star who is often known as the ‘Baadshah of Bollywood’ arrived to promote Kansai Paints Nepal’s ‘U-Can’ initiative. Shah Rukh is the brand ambassador of Nerolac paints, which is manufactured in Nepal by Kansai Nepal Paints.
